In re Weppeler

The only question submitted for determination is, whether the executor must invest the residuary fund for the life of Mrs. Deubel and, at her death, pay it over to her son Conrad, or whether his duty is, at once, to pay it to her. On the authority of the case of Smith v. Van Ostrand (64 N. Y., 278), it seems clear that she is immediately entitled to the possession of the fund, which she will hold for life, as trustee for her son.
